For a renowned car maker like Alfa Romeo, the 2014 Alfa Romeo Giuletta QV (Quadrifoglio Verde) is an important milestone. The Guiletta has become quite a popular car model in the automotive industry and anything that comes with the QV (with a 4-leave clover emblem) will tell volumes in terms of performance and reputation.

The 2014 Alfa Romeo Giuletta QV stands within the same category and breathe with the likes of the Ford Focus ST and the widely popular Volkswagen Golf GTi although it is marketed at a lower price. This top line Giuletta has all everything one would look for in a luxurious and high-performance model.

Under the hood of the Guiletta QV is a 1.7 liter turbocharged, 4 liter engine which comes with about 231 horses. For comparison, the Golf boosts about 217 horses. It might be inferior in terms of accessories but if it is performance you are looking for, that might not be the central issue as it only concerns items like the navigation system and the rear camera system, among others.

The Giuletta QV’s design is superior in many ways that include its daylight running lights and the hidden rear door handles. For anyone in the know about Alfa Romeo cars, hidden door handles has pretty much been their ‘trademark’. In terms of safety, it comes with 6 airbags and a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, which means that it is quite well-protected against accidents. Handling of the Guiletta QV is very good with a good tyre grip and braking system.
